Powertap track hub is my favoured option for track and for fixed gear bikes. I have six of them. The only downside is that if you try to back-pedal too hard, or skid, the internals start unwinding themselves, which is bad. If you can avoid that, they're brilliant. But the 'no back-pedalling/resisting forward motion too hard' thing might make them unviable for fixed crits. In which case, you're back to a spider or crank arm based option.
Brommers-
the internals start unwinding
It's a bit of an oversight to make a "fixed" hub which isn't actually fixed, but that's what you get when you lash something together from a road hub which is already fundamentally flawed :)

Hmm, I've never actually skidded in a fixed crit so maybe the powertap hub could work.
I think Garmin vectors with ultegra pedal swap would be good too. I'll have to see if this means the pedals are deeper, more investigation needed!

@laner Let's chat when you're back..
Thanks everyone else. Garmin vectors are out due to pedal strike risk in fixed crits.
Powerpod on handlebars probably isn't allowed on track.
Powertap hub is probably the best option.
